Anointing of the Sick
The
anointing of the sick is administered to bring spiritual and even physical
strength during an illness, especially near the time of death. It is most
likely one of the last sacraments one will receive. A sacrament is an
outward sign established by Jesus Christ to confer inward grace. In more
basic terms, it is a rite that is performed to convey God’s grace to the
recipient, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
